Team Lorraine joined The Weekend to Conquer Cancer for 2021!

It is our 13th year raising funds for Multiple Myeloma research at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Team Lorraine and the MM5K Multiple Myeloma M-Moving Together Toward the Cure have joined forces with The Weekend to Conquer Cancer for a 5k virtual walk on Sunday, September 12, 2021.

Lorraine has been living with cancer for over 13 years

Our friend Lorraine was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2008, a cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow, days after giving birth to her third daughter, Katerina. Her spine badly damaged from the cancer, Lorraine was in constant pain, but she did not give up. Barely able to walk, she started Team Lorraine to raise money to find a cure for Multiple Myeloma.

Lorraine’s cancer was in remission for many years, but she will be starting another round of aggressive treatments this year. Now more than ever, we need to raise even more dollars to discover new treatments and ultimately a cure for Multiple Myeloma.

Funds raised by Team Lorraine support the Molly & David Bloom Chair in Multiple Myeloma at Princess Margaret, the only myeloma chair in Canada. A dedicated research chair ensures that Princess Margaret patients have the latest treatments and shares Princess Margaret research with other doctors worldwide.

Please help Team Lorraine:

• join Team Lorraine and help us to raise funds by getting sponsors;
• sponsor a member of Team Lorraine
• sponsor Team Lorraine

Any contributions make a huge impact and are greatly appreciated.

In 2020, Team Lorraine raised over $18,500 in support of The Molly & David Bloom Chair for Multiple Myeloma Research at The Princess Margaret.
